Multilogues on the Now: On Health

exhibition in tranzitdisplay

On Health, the first issue of the series Multilogues on the Now, seeks to question hegemonic narratives, normative patterns, and the marginalised discourses and invisible practices connected to ideas of health, sickness, dis/ability, cure, therapies, treatment and medicine(s) in late-capitalist society. We are interested in positions, practices and theory ranging from the social to the individual, from institutional to self-organised, from academic to artistic, from theoretical to practical, and from local to translocal.

From self-maintained health clinics to dealing with diseases both individually and in the community, from the medicalisation and pathologisation of the human condition to a social model of physical and mental alterity, from social healthcare movements to institutional medical care, from pharmaceutical industry mechanisms to (bio)political relations connected to cure and treatment ... all types of bodies and minds are invited to interact, join and influence the program.

The issue On Health will include physical arrangements in space that will allow for the accommodation of a wider variety of differently abled bodies and minds.

---MULTILOGUES ON THE NOW
Multilogues on the Now is a series of thematic events conceptually addressing and spatially elaborating the realities and potentialities of the Now. Through analysing, discussing, planning and producing the performative, structural, strategic and intersectional aspects of our day-to-day life, the series seeks out a variety of current discourses and practices capable of interrogating and formulating possible strategic scenarios for the critical acquisition and construction of the Now. Multilogues on the Now will take on different forms, ranging from artistic interventions and performances, via generative design-based discussions, meetings, lectures, workshops, to knowledge and practice exchanges, publications etc., and will involve a wide range of participants.
